ABOUT MODES
The MPK49 has four different modes of operation. Each mode can be accessed by pressing the
corresponding button on the MPK49. Following is a short description of each mode:
Preset Mode
This mode allows you to load, save and copy Presets. A Preset is a
collection of information about how different sliders, knobs, and pads will
behave. Using Presets allows you to save different configurations so you
can quickly load them when you need them, without having to reprogram the
MPK49 every time.

Edit Mode
This mode allows you to edit the configuration of the MPK49. Edit Mode is a
powerful tool for customizing your set-up. In this mode, you can make
changes to how the keyboard, pads, knobs and sliders are behaving. For
example, you may wish to have a slider or a knob transmit only a limited
range of MIDI data, or you may wish to have a pad that transmits on a
different MIDI Channel. You can change these and other various parameters
in Edit Mode.

Global Mode
This mode allows you to set global parameters and make general changes to
how your MPK49 is functioning. For example, in Global Mode you can
change how the pads respond to the touch, or change the brightness of the
LCD screen. The parameters that you can modify in Global Mode also
include controller resets, pad response curves, display brightness, and more.

Program Change Mode
This mode allows you to transmit various Program Change messages. In
this mode, you can tell your DAW or an external device to switch to a
different program bank of sounds. This way, you can avoid having to
manually switch between different programs on your DAW or external device.
